They’re
some of the most ridiculous laws you’ve ever seen.They’re
also still on the books of many
states.Crazy laws are just one of
the
fun trivia I’ve include in my latest Service
For Life!®
Free consumer newsletter and trivia (and
there are more for you to laugh about inside!).But before you check them
out…

Here’s what’s new in the
world of real
estate:The
homebuyer tax credit
stimulated sales and even bumped up prices a little bit through the end
of
April.After the tax credit ended,
May
sales for new homes immediately went to an all time low.Inventories
are starting to grow again of
both new and resale homes.With interest
rates at an all time low it is a good time for opportunistic buyers.Just be prepared to own your
home as a long term investment since there
is no short term upswing in sight.How
about for sellers?
It is not a market for
the faint of heart when it comes to selling.Your home is almost certainly
worth less than it was a few short years
ago. The good news is that the home you buy will be worth less too!Selling
and buying in the current market can
be tricky but can actually make good sense with the right information.

Kudos
to a few of my colleagues- First,
I had a buyer client looking for a home
here but they had to sell their home in Tallahassee.Joe Manausa
and his great team got the
clients home under contract in less than 30 days! Then I had a client
that sold
a home here and wanted to buy a home in the Orlando area. Simon Conway
helped
them get a great deal on a short sale home and they closed on it last
month!If you or anybody you know
need a top notch
agent like Joe or Simon is some other part of the country just let me
know. I
don’t know agents everywhere but I am in contact with a lot
agents in different
parts of the country who can do a great job for you,

Finally,
I want you to know that you may call me for any reason.And
please let me know if a friend, family
member or neighbor needs a caring, competent real estate professional
to help
in buying or selling.
